Jeramy

We have had a fun week this week; Kennedy has been writing letters and sending treats to a soldier in Afghanistan and he is home on leave until the 30. Jeramy called and asked if he could come to our house and meet and surprise Kennedy on Tuesday night and personally thank her. It was such a neat experience for both of us. There was a knock on the door and I answered and there was Jeramy in his military uniform-Kenndy and Savhanna just looked up at him but Kennedy knew who he was from his pictures. We invited him and his mother in and got to talk and learn about the war and the brave men and women who are serving. Wednesday we were able to hold an assembly for the elementary where the kids got to see a slide show and ask questions about life as a medic in Afghanistan. It was touching and also so awesome to see how much the kids were interested and respectful. Today (Saturday) there was an open house held in Evanston where again we got to go be a part of something so special and touching-Kennedy's cards and the other kids from her classes cards were displayed on a table for everyone to see. Kennedy was treated like royalty from Jeramy and his family. We have just started a new friendship with an amazing person and family and have learned so much. I am so grateful for the people serving in our military, what unbelievable sacrifice them and their families make for our freedoms.
